Yes, it seems that one of the ends was peened so I was eventually able to push it out from the other side. Now the trouble is I am having trouble pulling the gear that the camshaft drives off. Is this press fit?

Hello, I am currently trying to rebuild the oil pump now. Can’t figure out how to get the driven gear out. It seems you should be able to just hammer out a little pin (pictured) but I’ve been hammering on it with a center punch and it hasn’t budged from either side. Is there something else I am supposed to do or does anyone have any tips on getting this pin out?

Hello, I am happy to report I got my engine and crank back from the machinist and am beginning reassembly once again. My question is this; is there another way to install the rear main rope seals than using an arbor press and a ~3” inch piece of round wood, I have neither.

I have been expecting at least $1000 - $1500. I’ll look into each of those companies further. Thanks for your help!

Does anybody know where I can buy a good wiring harness for my 48 Super Eight Sedan? Ideally I would like to get an oe style cloth covered one but I’ll take what I can get?

I believe-off the top of my head- that there are 36 studs

UPDATE:
The machine shop has determined that the mains are slightly out of round and will need to be align honed. The only problem is they need to remove the head studs to put it in the machine and are going to be charging 140 an hour for labor. So, my question for you is this, has anyone had any experience removing head studs & how long should it take? The block has been hot tanked and cleaned recently so at least the tops of the studs are not rusty but I’m not sure if that means the bottoms should be relatively easy for them to pull out. Any help helps.
